Cerberus

-

From Greek mythology, Cerberus, often known as "The Hound Of Hades", is the monstrous multi-headed dog that guards the gates of the Underworld to prevent the dead from leaving. 


Cerberus was the offspring of the monsters Echidna and Typhon, and usually is described as having three heads, a serpent for a tail, and snakes protruding from parts of his body. 


Cerberus is primarily known for his capture by Heracles, one of Heracles' twelve labours.

Autumn bought a heady mixture of colours, as it's inhabitants scurried around, preparing to hibernate for the years end.

Because of it's natural, resplendent charm, people came, not just from around the country, but others too, soaking up some nature as they hiked through. Not all who entered found their way out.

It is available in the original German language and English. Set mainly in Wismar and Transylvania, the film is considered a remake of the 1922 film Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, which stars Max Schreck as Count Orlock. Jonathan Harker ( Ganz ) is sent to Transylvania by his boss, Renfield ( who is maniacally played by Roland Topor ) to complete the sale of property with Count Dracula. Leaving his wife Lucy, he arrives in Transylvania, only to be received by locals who are highly suspicious of The Count and plead with him to not visit the castle. On arrival at the castle, Jonathan is met by a grim, sinister looking Dracula. The deal is completed after Dracula becomes entranced by a picture of Lucy. Jonathan is plagued by nightmarish dreams in ...
